“Zorya” head coach Viktor Skripnik on the air of “Football” TV commented on matchday 4 of the Europa League group stage.
“We are working on the game in defense. We played well against Vorskla and AEK. We worked on mistakes. The first half was difficult, we had to endure, and we did it. Then we calmed down, we scored a goal.” , the zones were opened. But in the end it was a logical victory, which I like, but I would like to play like this before. A compliment to the boys. We have that schedule: 7 matches in a row, already 6. We play again in 3 days. There is no point in relaxing.
The pause for the postponement of the match with Olimpik played in our hands. This was the time to look back. In the first three games of the LE, we were criticized for playing defense. We are trying to improve all this. I’m glad all of this was not in vain, that they didn’t just train and did that nasty job. And we have chances in any game. It so happened that today we scored three goals.
The key episode was the expulsion, although it was already 1: 0 (in fact, no: the expulsion occurred in minute 49 and the first goal in minute 61). Although we played in the majority, there was still a quality team in the rival, who had to win. We wanted to please ourselves, and we did. So yes, elimination is the key to the game.
The opponent began to take risks. They went from 5 defenses to 4. But in the first half we tried not to open up and play compactly. We played zero, it was necessary to endure this first onslaught. That gave us confidence. In previous LE games, we were already lost in the first few minutes, after which everything fell apart.
We will fight for the playoffs and we will do everything that depends on us. But in football you can plan, but everyone will show the matches. I want to close the door tight. Such victories inspire confidence, this is a good pill for us in the positive sense of the word. A victory that can play a good role for us in the future, “said Skripnik.
